If you love skincare as much as I do, you have probably heard of Mario Badescu. Beauty gurus have raved about his brand for a while now, but his facial sprays are especially popular.
For example, the rosewater facial spray has flown off of shelves because rose water is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Using pure rose water can help reduce skin irritations, acne and eczema.
Mario Badescu is not a trustworthy brand and the facial sprays are a scam.
In 2014, thirty-one customers using Mario Badescu's facial creams filed a lawsuit against the company due to being injured by undisclosed steroids in the products. The facial creams were marketed as all natural, botanical products, but really contained addictive steroids.
While Mario Badescu's facial sprays may not contain anything dangerous, the ingredients certainly are not as natural as the brand leads customers to believe. On the rosewater facial spray, roses are not even listed as one of the top five ingredients. Mario Badescu's rose water contains several chemicals that may not be safe for all skin types.
Speaking from personal experience, I will tell you this: Mario Badescu's rose water did not improve my skin at all. In fact, it dried my skin out tremendously.
Have I had friends who swear by this facial spray?
Yes, but they're always the friends who grew up with naturally flawless skin. If you have sensitive skin and tend to react strongly to chemicals, this product is not for you.
There are many rosewaters on the beauty shelves that contain two ingredients: water and rose.
